The New Saints eased past Swansea City Under-21s to win the Nathaniel MG Cup.
Ryan Brobbel and Josh Pask struck early on before Brad Young added a third to put Craig Harrison's side in complete control at Barry's Jenner Park.
Ben Lloyd responded for Swansea's youngsters, although Adrian Cieslewicz struck twice in injury time for the Cymru Premier side.
Victory keeps TNS on course for an historic quadruple this season following their 10th win in the event.
The New Saints' Ryan Brobbel told BBC Wales Sport:
"Winning 5-1, obviously it's different opposition to what we're used to, it's brilliant for them to push on and get to the final, but we weren't going to let that make any difference to us.
"We want to win everything we're in and it's nice to get the victory.
"We just want to win everything that's possible."
Swansea City Under-21s coach Anthony Wright told BBC Wales Sport:
"We wanted to win the game. Performance-wise, I thought first half, we had too many tough moments and we struggled at times in possession, that's all credit to TNS.
"Every game we play is always a learning curve. I've got a really young group of players and at half time they could have caved in.
"But I actually thought second half we had a lot of control in the game and the players grew in the game and gained a lot of confidence from that."
